Rev. Greg Larsen
Pastor
I’m a dedicated dad to a 10 year
old daughter, Sophie, and a
“greyt”ful greyhound owner to
Veronica, my retired 45mph
couch potato. A born and raised
Michigander, I love all things “up
north,” traveling God’s country,
and meeting new people to hear
their stories. Spending time with my daughter Sophie and doggers is one of my favorite pastimes
past times. I’m close to my family
and appreciate creating and
sharing special moments with
them. I’m one part of a duo that
plays Beer and Hymns (Detroit)
on vocals and guitar. I have a
deep appreciation for several
genres of music. I’m grateful for
the opportunity to serve St.
Thomas and I’m looking forward
to exploring what the Spirit brings
to us all..
